Abstract

The National Basketball Association (NBA) Slam Dunk Contest has declined in popularity in recent years, in large part due to a lack of star-player participation relative to the NBA All Star Game. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effect of NBA Slam Dunk Contest participation on subsequent injury risk and player performance. Participants from twenty NBA Slam Dunk Contests (2000-2019) were identified and matched to a control group consisting of same-year All-Star Game players. Injury data and performance data concerning all major offensive and defensive statistical categories was obtained from publicly available databases. Injury rates and season-long statistical performances were compared between groups both before and after the All-Star Game/Dunk Contest. Logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for injury in the second portion of the NBA season. There were 88 players in each group. Injury rates in the second portion of the season were not statistically different between the groups. The dunk contest group did not demonstrate a statistical decline in any of the second half performance metrics. When compared to the control group, no statistically significant second-half differences were noted other than a slight increase in points-per-minute in the dunk contest group (5.6%±20.3% vs. 0.0%±15.8% P=0.04). Participation in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest did not lead to an increased risk for injury or a decline in statistical production when compared to All-Star game players.

参加全国篮球协会扣篮大赛不会导致受伤风险增加或对球员表现产生不利影响

近年来，美国国家篮球协会（NBA）扣篮大赛的受欢迎程度有所下降，这在很大程度上是由于与 NBA 全明星赛相比，缺乏明星球员的参与。本研究旨在评估参加 NBA 扣篮大赛对后续受伤风险和球员表现的影响。研究人员确定了 20 届 NBA 扣篮大赛（2000-2019 年）的参赛选手，并将其与同年全明星赛球员组成的对照组进行了比对。从公开数据库中获取了有关所有主要进攻和防守统计类别的受伤数据和表现数据。在全明星赛/扣篮大赛之前和之后，对各组之间的受伤率和赛季统计表现进行比较。采用逻辑回归法确定 NBA 赛季后半段受伤的独立风险因素。每组共有 88 名球员。两组球员在赛季后半段的受伤率没有统计学差异。扣篮大赛组在下半场的任何表现指标上都没有出现统计学上的下降。与对照组相比，除了扣篮大赛组的每分钟得分略有增加（5.6%±20.3% vs. 0.0%±15.8% P=0.04）外，下半场没有发现明显的统计学差异。与全明星赛球员相比，参加 NBA 扣篮大赛不会导致受伤风险增加或统计产量下降。
